I got the idea at 7:00 AM. By 8:30, I had already started marketing. That’s how a new cleaning service was born.” —Sahejad Thariya, Founder
In the fast-paced chaos of cities like Bangalore, keeping your bike or car clean is a daily challenge. Dust builds up overnight, and the hassle of finding time for a car wash often leads to neglect. Enter QuickShine—a doorstep bike and car cleaning service designed to bring professional vehicle care directly to your home, every single day.
Founded by Sahejad Thariya, the service has already built a loyal customer base of 300 active users—all in just a few months.
The Spark Behind QuickShine
The service didn’t begin in a boardroom—it started with a real conversation between friends. Sahejad’s friend would often complain about how quickly dust settled on his bike and car.
If there’s a daily problem, why not build a daily solution for it?” Sahejad recalls.
And just like that, the idea clicked. He didn’t waste a moment. By 7:30 AM, he had the name QuickShine. By 8:30 AM, marketing had already begun. No business plan. No waiting. Just fast execution.
Turning an Idea into Action
The first few days were tough. Despite his enthusiasm, no customers signed up in the beginning. But Sahejad didn’t stop. He adjusted the pricing, introduced offers, and made the service too convenient to ignore.
That’s when things started moving. The early offers attracted attention. People loved the idea of never having to think about vehicle cleaning again—it just got done every morning.
Things started to pick up slowly. Customers began referring others, and QuickShine started building real traction.

Challenges and Solutions
Like any startup, QuickShine hit some bumps early on. The two main hurdles:
- Hiring dependable staff who could consistently show up, deliver high-quality work, and stay motivated.
- Building trust with gated communities and cautious customers who were hesitant to allow strangers near their vehicles.
To solve this, the team focused on:
- Training and retaining staff through fair wages and clear expectations.
- Building credibility using word-of-mouth, local references, and real customer testimonials.
The team used WhatsApp to share daily photos of completed jobs, allowing customers to see proof of service and feel confident in what they were paying for.

A Big Lesson from a Big Moment
Just 15 days after launching, the service received its first investment—from its first customer, who became a mentor, investor, and close friend.
But excitement led to a mistake: hiring too many people too quickly. It wasn’t needed, and it wasn’t sustainable. That moment became a crucial lesson.
“Every rupee counts in the beginning. You have to spend smart, not emotionally.”
That experience taught Sahejad to build lean, focus on cash flow, and always ask: “Will this bring growth—or just look good?”
Where QuickShine Stands Today
Since launching at the end of February, the service has already reached 300 paying customers and is growing fast. Each new month brings more sign-ups, stronger brand recognition, and proof that convenience, trust, and consistency can build real business momentum.
The Vision Ahead
Short-term goal: Reach 1,000+ active customers within the next 6 months using hyperlocal marketing, exceptional service, and word-of-mouth.
Long-term vision: Expand to Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities across India, develop a QuickShine retail product line (car shampoos, polish kits, microfiber cloths, etc.), and eventually go international—adapting the model to different markets around the world.
Habits That Drive Growth
What keeps Sahejad going is purpose-driven action and the excitement of building something people use every day. He avoids overthinking, focuses on daily progress, and believes deeply in the power of consistency.
“Consistency beats perfection. Small steps every day lead to big dreams.”
Key Takeaways for Aspiring Entrepreneurs
- Start fast, think later. Execution beats planning when your idea solves a real problem.
- Solve something daily. If people face a problem every day, they’ll pay for a daily solution.
- Spend wisely. Emotional decisions in the early days can slow you down. Be lean.
- Build trust. Your brand is only as strong as your customer relationships.
- Think big, but grow in steps. Start with 1, then 10, then 1000 customers. That’s the path.
From a dusty city street to a growing startup with 300+ happy customers, QuickShine proves that even the simplest ideas—executed with speed, heart, and consistency—can shine bright.
And this is just the beginning.
